Syria in 2016 (January-March)

[davidbfpo]

It was the highway to Aleppo that was cut, back in late February, and then again in early March.

The road - that is: there are actually two parallel roads there (one old and one new) - between Homs and Palmyra was never 'cut', and I do not recall any of us reporting it was: the area was rather 'threatened' by the Daesh advances in Qaraytan area, and few raids - but 'nothing serious'.

That said, south of Jubb al-Jarrah, the Daesh is still only 3-4km north of these roads.

My apologies, a late PM post without checking my facts. Yes, it was the highway to Aleppo I meant to ask about.

That said thank you both for your posts in response.
